There is a brief mention in Davies - Tramways de Savoie, latterly CFDIL de Savoie, four roadside lines radiating from Chamberey, opened 1892, tried petrol-electric railcars, closed 1932 and replaced by trolleybus.

- and that's it!

?Hello, does any one know anything about the 60cm tramways of Chambery? I've seen about 3 photos of it and it looks rather charming. Would there be something about in W.J.K. Davies Minor Railways of France?

Hi David

In WJK Davies “Minor Railways of France”, p249 there are plans for the 4w Crochat car for Twys Pithvier-Toury, which I think is now preserved.

Same author’s “Light Railway Railcar in Western Europe”, p57-60 has drawings for several Crochat cars, 4& 8w, for 60cm and metre gauge.

Hope this helps

?Hi, does anyone where to find a scale drawing of the 60cm Crochat petrol electric railcars??
Would Voie Libra have one in a back issue?

Hi David,

The university of Frankfurt has a collection of photographs about Namibian railways during German colonial times. Just go to



click on the British flag and enter "namibia" in the first field from the top, and "eisenbahn" in the second. Beefing up your German might help.

Hello, apparently, according to wikipedia, there was a 2ft industrial line between Kolmanskop and Bogenfels in Namibia when it was german south west Africa. I think it was for diamonds. Apparently it was electrified. Does anyone know any more about it and there any photographs anywhere??
